Eh, I refuse to believe that.
Top quality? Yes - you'd have to go above that range.
Mediocre? I think you can easily fit in there.

I have a Calphalon Contemporary 8-inch Chefs knife that is actually pretty nice. I think they come in at around $40-$50, but you might be able to find one at a Homegoods for cheaper if you have one of those stores around you.

i like Henkels -- the in-laws gave me and the wife a set a while back --- they are sturdy and the steal that came with the set works wonders ---- all i need to do is to teach her how to use the steal

... the 6" chefs knife is $130-ish
http://usa.jahenckels.com/194henckels
depends on what series you go for ... some as low as $65 and some as much as $250
For some odd reason, I'll spend a fortune on my cookware, but seem to have issues buying nice knives and cuttlery (sp?).
$50 is probably all I'll be able to buy at the moment w/o cringing.

Spent $12k on a car, have no regrets. And laugh at people that are still making $500+ car payments.

And if I wanted top of the line, I'd pay for it 
I want good. Better than $5 piece of tin from Walmart.
To those who actually answered the original question - thanks for the suggestions, gonna check out some reviews of the ones listed.

sorry, wasn't trying to offend you or anything
i've tried a cheap set too --- didn't last for very long -- a year or two
the in-laws gave us the Henckel set -- had them for about 3 years with no problems (i just have to sharpen them every now and then)
i hope they are as good as the ones my grandma has -- they got regular use and my grandpa used to sharpen them once a month --- she's had them for over 30 years

Check out this place http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerce/main_front.jsp They have a store in Sevierville, TN, just a short drive from Pigeon Forge. They have every kind of knife imaginable and very reasonable prices. We stop by there when we drive to SC to visit my mom and that's where I got all my knives.

I've had my Henckels now for 10 years and just sharpen them periodically. Can't say the same for cheaper knives I've had in the past.
